His explanation made sense.

“I’ll trust you this time.

But if you dare to lie to me again, your punishment will be double.

Nathaniel lowered his head.

“Okay.

Seven days remained.

He might not get another chance.

Lucinda walked to the window and closed it.

“I have something I need to deal with.

You just stay here.

Don’t go out.

“Okay.

“Get some rest.

Lucinda left his room, closing the door behind her.

She went downstairs and entered the living room.

Abel and the others were lying on the sofa.

They woke up slowly and were still a little dizzy from the anesthetic.

Lucinda approached them.

She looked at each of them in turn and then spoke to Leon, who appeared more alert than the others.

“Leon, who did you see before you passed out?”

Leon thought back.

Did that mean Nathaniel was telling the truth?

She noticed Leon’s friendly tone when he talked about Sonny.

“It seems that you get along well with Nathaniel’s subordinate.

Leon looked terrified.

He was sure she would punish him.

He wanted to explain, but didn’t know how.

Lucinda didn’t want to hear his excuses.

“You are my bodyguards, but you allowed an outsider to enter without my permission.

You were too reckless and you embarrassed not only yourselves but me.

You will be deducted two months’ salary and your year-end bonus, and if it happens again, you will all be fired.

The three men were helpless but didn’t dare to talk back.

It was getting late.

Lucinda hadn’t eaten, so she ordered some fast food.

When she had finished eating, she went to her room to rest.
